Lea Harrison Soft Tissue Therapy

Lea Harrison Soft Tissue Therapy treats soft tissue injury, muscle pain, sports injuries and everyday aches. Care covers muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendinitis, bursitis, myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia. Lea also works with clients affected by cerebral palsy, Parkinson's and arthritis.

Services include sports massage, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, oncology massage, rehabilitation and maintenance massage. Sports massage and soft tissue therapy use focused deep-tissue work for muscular stress and recovery support. Dry needling is available within a therapy session where clinically appropriate. Oncology massage is a gentler option for people undergoing cancer treatment or in recovery.

Rehabilitation focuses on sports-related injury using targeted exercises, therapeutic interventions and progressive training. Maintenance massage is offered for ongoing muscle tension, mobility and training support. Sessions can include deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and stretching. Other techniques include soft tissue release, neuromuscular release, positional release, friction massage and muscle energy techniques.

The first soft tissue therapy session includes a medical history review and physical examination. Lea discusses symptoms and goals, creates a treatment plan, and starts initial therapy. Treatment may include aftercare guidance and education for managing recovery. Lea aims to work within each patient's pain tolerance and comfort level.

The clinic is based in Lancing and serves Worthing, Shoreham-by-Sea and the wider West Sussex area. Home visits can be arranged for an additional charge, if there is enough treatment space. Clubs and group bookings can also be catered for. The clinic has free secure parking.

Lea works with Southern Sharks Wheelchair Basketball Team, Big Als Fitness clients and Foxy Ladies Running Club. Professional memberships named by the practice include the Sports Massage Association and Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage. The London School of Sports Massage is also listed.
